Career Options in Engineering Numerous career paths are available in the engineering field. And some engineering disciplines are among the fastest growing career areas for the future. A brief description of the major career areas and links to related professional associations are provided below:
Civil engineers are the largest group of engineers. They plan, design, construct, and operate municipal structures, water suppl... >[more]
Choosing an Engineering Major While you may choose to apply to the computer science program immediately, typically your first three years in engineering provide you with a solid foundation in science, with introductory courses in all of the engineering areas. This gives you an overview of the field, and helps you select an area in which to specialize. Generally, it is at this point, in your junior or senior year, that you choo... >[more]
Coops or Internships in Engineering & IT Many universities have co-operative education or internship programs. They function differently from school to school, but generally companies and organizations post jobs with the co-op office, which members of the co-op programs then apply and interview for (if they are short-listed). It works like applying for regular jobs, except that as a co-op student you are still considered to be a student... >[more]
Lab Work and Projects - Engineering & IT Engineering and computer science students are evaluated by exams, lab work, quizzes, and projects. Infrequently, they write papers. Professors want to see that students can apply and implement their knowledge.
Engineering studies - also referred to as the "Applied Sciences" - involves a lot of lab work where students can apply the concepts that they learn in class. Students may take as many as... >[more]
Typical Classes and Hours in Engineering & IT Engineering is one of the most demanding and time-intensive programs in university. Many programs seem to be designed to "weed out" the students who do not have the drive and determination to devote all their waking hours (including many when they should be sleeping) to coursework. Not only do engineers take more classes per semester than students in other faculties, but most classes have a lab co... >[more]
What is an Engineering Degree? Engineering and technology curricula are science- and math-intensive, which may discourage some people from pursuing these degrees. But solving logical problems also requires creativity - and the theoretical knowledge that your science and math classes will give you. Also, it is important to know how to communicate your ideas to other engineers, computer scientists, managers, shareholders and othe... >[more]
Engineering: Mechatronics
The bachelor of science in engineering focuses on mechatronics and is the study of the synergistic use of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering that produces "smart" products from the Mars Rover to a desktop printer. Identified by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as one of 10 emerging technologies most likely to be highly influential in the near future, Vaughn is the only college in New York to offer this in-demand degree.The rigorous programs has several objectives: It will provide a link between academia and ...
